Mingulay Boat Song

Heel y'ho boys, let her go, boys 
Bring her head round now all together 
Heel y'ho boys, let her go boys 
Sailing homeward to Mingulay!

What care we tho' white the sea is 
What care we for wind and weather? 
Let her go boys, every inch is 
Wearing homeward to Mingulay!

Wives are waiting on the bank, boys, 
Looking seaward from the heather. 
Pull her 'round boys, and we'll anchor 
'Ere the sun sets at Mingulay!

Heel y'ho boys, let her go, boys 
Bring her head round now all together 
Heel y'ho boys, let her go boys 
Sailing homeward to Mingulay!

PLUS THE BONUS
